Navigating a maze, especially when you're trapped inside of it, can be a complicated situation. Scientists researching intelligence have recently found that droplets of oil can mimic the intelligence by successfully traversing a maze. It turns out that the droplet's uncanny ability to navigate the maze arises not out of any internal intelligence, but rather the highly ordered chemical structure of the maze around it. Thus, even though the droplet appears to be highly intelligent, it is really just following a highly ordered pathway.
This brings up the fascinating idea that being smart could merely be a symptom of having a highly ordered brain. How Foolish.
